Library Reopening – June 2023
joycemedia2024-07-08T17:29:59-04:00The Beach Haven Library Board of Trustees and Staff are pleased to announce that renovation and restoration of the library building located at 247 North Beach Avenue is largely complete, and library collections have been moved back into place. Full operations at the historic library, which opened to the public in 1924, will resume on Monday, June 26.
The library will host a Grand Opening on July 12.
The library has been operating out of a temporary location on the second floor of Beach Haven Borough Hall since last November after environmental testing revealed unsafe conditions at the historic library, and the Borough Council declared an emergency.
Work on the library building included addressing problems with water in the basement, as well as remediating mold and higher-than-acceptable levels of lead in the air resulting from lead paint on walls and shelving.
All remediation has been completed and the building interior has been newly painted.
“After many months, there’s light at the end of the tunnel,” said Jane DeHaven, the library’s new Director. “It was no easy task to get 40,000 books back onto the shelves, rehang the artwork, curate displays, and resettle staff and equipment into the library building. The support we received from Borough administration was phenomenal, and everyone from Borough Manager Sherry Mason to the entire team at Beach Haven Public Works was there when we needed them.”
“I also can’t begin to thank our Library Board, and especially the executive committee— Board President Kathy Kelly, Vice President Tina Hughes-Kelsall, Treasurer Nancy Thornton, and Secretary Jayne McElvery—for going above and beyond during this unprecedented challenge.”
“We’re happy to be reopening, and we’re looking forward to a busy summer season.”

LBIHD Offers Immunocompromised Appointments for 3rd Dose of both mRNA Covid-19 Vaccines
joycemedia2021-09-24T13:58:37-04:00LBIHD Offers Immunocompromised Appointments for 3rd Dose of both mRNA Covid-19 Vaccines
LBIHD is providing an additional dose of Moderna or Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for individuals with moderately to severely compromised immune systems. Recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended that people who are moderately to severely immunocompromised receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least 28 days after a second dose of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. This includes people who have:
- • Active treatment for solid tumor and hematologic malignancies,
- • Receipt of a solid-organ transplant and taking immunosuppressive therapy,
- • Receipt of CAR-T-cell or hematopoietic stem cell transplant(within 2 years of transplantation or taking immunosuppression therapy),
- • Moderate or severe primary immunodeficiency(such as Di George syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome),
- • Advanced or untreated HIV infection, and/or
- • Active treatment with high-dose corticosteroids (~20mgprednisoneor equivalent per day), alkylating agents, antimetabolites, transplant-related immunosuppressive drugs, cancer chemotherapeutic agents classified as severely immunosuppressive, tumor-necrosis(TNF) blockers, and other biologic agents that are immunosuppressive or immunomodulatory.
Individuals should talk to their healthcare provider about their medical condition, and whether getting an additional dose is appropriate for them.
Additional doses are by appointment ONLY, please call our office or schedule through our website by hovering over Covid-19 tab at www.lbihealth.com.
For those who received the one-dose J&J vaccine, the CDC advises that there is not enough data at this time to determine whether people with a compromised immune system will also have an improved antibody response following an additional dose of the same vaccine.
The LBIHD requires individual to bring their current COVID-19 vaccination record card identifying which 2-dose vaccine was administered prior and the dates. For more information regarding the additional dose, residents can visit: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/immuno.html
